The CERN Diversity Office is rolling out a module on Gender Inclusive Teaching in National Teacher Programmes. In this framework, it organises a two-hour workshop with scholars and field experts on 5 June 2018 in Council Chamber, at CERN.

On 26 April 2018, over 150 girls participated in a variety of interactive workshops and mentoring sessions at ITU headquarters in Geneva, centered around the theme “Expand horizons, change attitudes.” These local school girls, aged 13 to 17, learned all about the latest technologies and acquired important digital skills and technical tools that can be used in their daily lives.

CERN develops and hosts various activities to encourage female students to take up science subjects and women to enter the fields of science, technology and engineering. The Django Girls workshop that took place on 23 and 24 March at CERN’s IdeaSquare is the latest such initiative.

8 March is International Women's Day, an occasion celebrated by the United Nations since 1975, and first observed as National Woman's Day in the United States on 28 February 1909. 8 March is now celebrated in numerous countries around the world. This year's International Women's day topic is "Time is Now: Rural and urban activists transforming women’s lives".

It has been over 20 years since the original CERN History Project concluded. On 1 and 2 February 2018, CERN hosted History Days, a workshop to chronicle the history of major scientific institutions including the CERN History project.

With 11 February marking the International Day of Women and Girls in Science, female physicists, engineers and computer scientists from CERN and from Fermilab share their experiences of building a career in science. Which is this year’s focus? Women working in technology and computing!
